My blog contains both...truth and writing...My blog was started as another means of expression and to connect with others who are experiencing the same thing or have experienced the same thing..Life is a contant Begin Again for me...So I thought maybe it was this way for others too..<br />I "write" daily...sometimes a lot and sometimes not so much. Challenges like Magpie and Microfiction are fun and they get the old mind working...and I am grateful for them...is there truth in them..of course...but they are story first. It also has given me the chance to meet such wonderful writers...whether they know it or not...and I loved to be moved too.<br />I have been working on two books for the longest time...changed my mind about them several times..Don't think I'll ever finish them...but it is the process<br />that I love...and a byproduct is that I learn so much about myself.<br />So thank you for thinking I now have an outlet...you're sweet for liking my letting go..but the outlet and letting go have always resided in the pen and paper always before me.Suzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10329289442910294160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6510596473943702617.post-80820572844938635302010-07-30T10:17:27.758-05:002010-07-30T10:17:27.758-05:00So cool Suz.
